Workstation/Server Specific Information

SCSI Driver c8xx

Chapter 5

SCSI Driver c8xx

new for

March 2002

The c8xx driver is being updated to support two new SCSI PCI Ultra160 Host Bus

Adapters (HBAs) that are available beginning in March 2002. The driver is included in

the March 2002 HWEnable11i bundle, which is available on the March 2002 11i OE

media and on the Support Plus CD.

Four patches (PHKL_25712, PHCO_25831, PHKL_24854, and PHKL_25218) are required for

the c8xx driver. Note that all four patches are included in the HWEnable11i bundle. So, if

you install the entire bundle, you will automatically install the four patches.

For the most recent information about the SCSI HBAs, you should periodically check the

SCSI HBA information at the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC), at http://itrc.hp.com.

Go to the area for knowledge trees. Then, under “Hardware,” select “Networks,” then

“mass storage connectivity,” then “scsi hba’s,” and then “technical support.” This takes

you to a page titled “scsi hba’s.” (You might want to bookmark this page for future

reference.)
